Isn't it standard practice for two entities, when setting up a peering, transit, or partial transit relationship, to agree on what routes will be sent over the links and then develop route filters on each side accordingly? If this is done properly, then a misconfiguration on one side should not impact folks upstream or peering, no?
Of course, if misconfiguration happens at multiple levels, then damage might affect multiple levels. Is there ever a time when one can't setup predefined routing filters on an eBGP connection because the set of advertisements expected over the link would be unknown?
